[Moose-dev] PetitParser, longest match

Hi,

I am playing with PetitParser (which looks super-cool!). Following Lukas' blogpost [1], I defined my identifier as:

<snip> identifier := #letter asParser , #word asParser star. </snip>

then, I am using it to find the matches in a given string:

<snip> identifier matchesIn: 'foo 123 bar12'. </snip>

which returns:

<snip> an OrderedCollection( #($f #($o $o)) #($o #($o)) #($o #()) #($b #($a $r $1 $2)) #($a #($r $1 $2)) #($r #($1 $2)) ) </snip>

Even though the result is correct and makes much sense, would it be possible to simply have the longest matches? In that case I would expect something like:

<snip> an OrderedCollection( #($f #($o $o)) #($b #($a $r $1 $2)) ) </snip>

Thank you!

Cheers, Alberto
